This well-written book, while important to library collections, will probably best be used as supplemental readings for most courses in finance or financial economics...As the subject penetrates further into the liberal arts colleges, the Houthakker/Williamson approach may be more widely used. An excellent supplemental work for upper-division undergraduates and graduates. * Choice *
